Lyn,
Thanks for the kind words and support. The toughest thing I am dealing with now is pleghm from my cold, and dry mouth is kicking it--so I spend a bunch of my day just spitting up some nasty stuff. I am taking 6 cans of Jevity 1.2 at night and during the day I usually have about 3 cans of Boost nutritional supplement. I think I have gained back between .5 and 1.5 pounds since I received the feeding pump. The toughest part is not being able to drink or eat by mouth. Have been wondering what some of the first things other survivors first started eating and drinking after they completed their radiation treatments. Thursday is my last scheduled day of radiation, and it can't come quick enough.
Thanks again for all the kind words and support. I can't thank my wife enough for all that she has done for me. I truely am blessed to have such a wonderful family!
